DownUnder Trips, which specializes in travel to New Zealand and Australia, opened its doors earlier this month on the lower level of the Marketplace building, 124 W. Wisconsin Ave., in downtown Neenah.

The travel agency’s owner, Geoff Hendren, got started by booking trips for golfers to his native New Zealand, but can now book trips to any domestic or foreign location.

“A lot of my clients say there’s too much information online. I do all the research for them, and I can save them money or match the price they find online,” he said.

His commissions are paid by resorts and cruises. The only time clients pay him a fee is when they book airfare alone. That’s $25.
